Language functions as code for communicating with one another. We can categorize language as being of two types: the \u201cnatural\u201d language and \u201c<strong>numeric<\/strong>\u201d one.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n  The \u201cnatural\u201d language uses &#8220;words&#8221;, whereas the \u201cnumeric\u201d language uses \u201cmathematical\u201d forms. We see patterns in music just as in mathematics, and they are not lifeless formulas, since they can be used to express <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zebrakeys.com\/lessons\/intermediate\/improvisation\/?id=36\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">harmony<\/a> and beauty.
